After several months of less than satisfactory 'fizz' from our Gemini

wrong. The central spike that injects CO2 into the water had come a
little
loose. Not enough to notice, but enough to let gas escape and preventing
it
from getting enough pressure to dissolve in the water. Tightened it up
and
it now fizzes and farts properly.

It's worth documenting!


Gosh. We had one of those in the early 1970's...
Didn't know they still existed.


They have a good website.
They are very quick on delivery for concentrate.
Loads of flavours (I have around 7 of them)
Gas is available round our way at Tesco's.

Also the carbonated water is great for making *THE* lightest batter for
Yorky Puds and anything else that needs a light coating, like Tempura Prawns
etc.

Boot fairs are the best place for old Gas bottles that makes it cheaper to
have a few spares around (Got 4 of em for 50p)
